I am an experienced Laparoscopic Upper GI and General Surgeon with over 20 years experience. I perform elective and emergency benign upper GI and general surgical procedures. I have performed more than 3,000 keyhole gallbladder surgery and more than 3,000 keyhole groin hernia surgeries within my career.
I specialise in upper gastrointestinal surgery which involves gallbladder and stomach surgery. With extensive experience in both laparoscopic and open hernia repair surgery, patients are more satisfied with the outcomes following keyhole surgery.
I have a patient-centred approach to patient care, including providing audio-visual aides in my clinics to help in decision making.
Within my NHS practice, I work at Southend and Broomfield Hospitals. I have undergone surgical training in various institutes in Kent, Surrey and London.
After working to acquire a Masters in Surgical Practice from the University of Kent, I have been working as an Upper GI and general surgical consultant since 2017 before moving to the Mid and South Essex NHS trust.
I am interested in innovations and quality improvement in surgical practice and minimally invasive surgery, and have published numerous publications in peer reviewed journals.
In addition to my clinical work, I am involved with formal and informal teaching of junior doctors and medical students from Kent and Medway and Essex.
